Why Do You Need a Sump Pump in Your Home?

A sump pump is an essential tool for protecting your home from flooding and water damage. Typically installed in the basement or lowest point of your property, a sump pump removes water that accumulates in a sump basin or pit. This helps manage surface runoff and recharge underground aquifers while keeping your basement dry.

According to the American Society of Home Inspectors, nearly 60% of American homes experience moisture in the basement, with many facing full-blown flooding. A sump pump can prevent costly water damage, reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth, and safeguard your home’s structural integrity. By keeping your basement dry, a sump pump also helps avoid health issues caused by mold-related respiratory problems.

Types of Sump Pumps

There are various types of sump pumps to suit different needs. At Atherton Plumbing, we offer expert guidance to help you choose the right solution for your home:

Primary Sump Pumps

  • Submersible Sump Pumps: Installed underwater in the sump basin, these pumps efficiently handle debris without clogging. They last 5–15 years and are ideal for homes with high water volumes.
  • Pedestal Sump Pumps: These pumps have motors mounted above the basin, making them easier to repair. While less expensive and longer-lasting (25–30 years), they may not handle debris as effectively.

Backup Sump Pumps

  • Battery Backup Pumps: These pumps activate during power outages to keep your basement dry. Powered by batteries, they offer an extra layer of protection when primary pumps fail.
  • Water-Powered Backup Pumps: Operating without batteries, these pumps use water pressure to function during power outages, providing a reliable and automatic backup solution.

Combination Sump Pumps

  • These systems combine a primary pump with a battery backup for comprehensive protection, giving you peace of mind during storms or power outages.

Sewage Sump Pumps

  • Used to pump effluent sewage waste from your home into the sewer system, these pumps are essential for homes with basements or septic systems.

Common Sump Pump Problems

Sump pumps are vital for flood prevention, but like any mechanical system, they can experience issues over time. Common problems include:

  • Old or Worn-Out Pumps: Over time, sump pumps lose efficiency and may require replacement.
  • Frozen Discharge Pipes: Harsh winter weather can freeze discharge pipes, preventing proper water drainage.
  • Overwhelmed Pumps: In heavy rains or high water volumes, an undersized pump may struggle to keep up.
  • Power Failures: Without a backup system, power outages leave your home vulnerable to flooding.
  • Stuck Switches: Mechanical failures, such as stuck switches, can stop the pump from operating when needed.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, contact Atherton Plumbing for expert repair and replacement services.

Sunday morning text from our tenants that shower, sink and toilet were backing up. Called Atherton, they explained the emergency pricing, tech called me 5 minutes later and asked some questions and walked me through the process and pricing. 5 minutes later i had a text with a picture of my technician, Nick, and that he was on his way. 30 minutes later i met himat the property, everything fixed in less than an hour, keeping me in the loop at every step. He did a great job of fixing the issue and cleaning up after himself. I love Atherton for their responsiveness and quality of work.

Jason Maxwell came out to check my water heater. He was able to come out the same day that I called. He inspected my corroded water heater and told me it needed to be replaced, before it made a bigger mess than it had made already. The whole tank was really rusty and corroded and water was in the tray. He checked on the price and said he had good news and bad news. The good news was the tank was under warranty and the bad news was installation was $1400. Well...I don't have the skills to install a water heater and told Jason to go ahead. He had to go pickup a water heater, but was only gone about 30 to 40 minutes. He had the water draining out of the old water heater while he went to get the new one. He took the old water heater out and installed the new one and cleaned up the little bit of water that dripped on the floor. Ran water to get the air out of the lines. I asked Jason if he could show me how to change the filter in my Nuvo water softener. He said, "sure". This system was really different from our old one and I bought the wrong filter, so I'm Really glad he helped me out. It only to Jason about 3 hours total, including having to go pickup the new water heater. I asked him some questions about tankless system, because I was curious. He was very knowledgeable and didn't mind answering my questions. We've had good luck with Atherton Plumbing and have used them several times. We've been pleased with all the plumbers.

My shower cartridge was worn out and the shower wouldn't shut off so I had to shut the water off to the house. They sent Macen to take care of it and he was excellent, thus the 5 star rating. He was very respectful of our home and knew exactly what to do and had the new parts on his truck. Done in an hour.....

I had detected a problem with my water pressure for 4 months or so and called Atherton and their Lead Technician Jerry Stover came to my home and my water heater was completely clogged from the water softener residue. Water Softener had sent all it's material to the Hot Water heater and now I had no running water and tank wouldn't drain....Jerry knew exactly what to do and made sure EVERY toilet, sink, bathtub, washer, Everything that receives water in the 3 story home was working and stayed after hours to make sure.....water softener was getting some age and I should have called sooner...As far as Atherton and Jerry Stover...If there was something beyond 5 stars I would leave it. Now I know what to do in the future, everything was explained

The technician (Jason Maxwell) was professional and friendly. He explained everything well, took care of the issue, and provided additional advice for taking care of our water heater and for potential recurrent issues. The communication over text from the company was also very helpful. I appreciated the short description and photo of the technician so we had some information about him before he arrived. Overall, very pleased with the services. Price was reasonable for the services provided, similar to other plumbing services in the area.

Contacted Atherton Plumbing from a referral from a friend. Glad I did, I needed some work done on my shower. Atherton arrived when they told me they would. 2 young men “Dillon and Dalton” arrived on time. Seemed very knowledgeable and were done much earlier than I thought they would. Did a great job, and next time I need plumbing done will definitely be calling Atherton to do the job. Very satisfied with the service. Definitely recommend. Richard Nichols
